I don't think everyone here hates it. The common opinion I've seen is that the quality is lower than the first few novels, which I agree with

Hey anons, it's me, Fatman. Here to tell you all to watch House of the Dragon, coming out soon! And then watch my other 10 spinoffs and 14 movies I'm producing. Haha, I love Television & film. I'm never writing another word as long as morons keep watching my shows. Stay mad forever.

>> No.20824200

>>20823863
Because while it's chapters are longer than the earlier entries' there is less plot going on. Also along with the fifth novel it builds to a payoff that doesn't happen, since it was kept for the begging of the sixth novel that never came out. It's underwhelming

it has fun character and worldbuilding stuff but almost nothing happens, the plot just stops

>> No.20826353

>>20823863
It's just not as tight as the first three and is missing some characters while it has more throwaway POVs like the Dorne ones.
I love any part with Euron in it, I reread them many times and they're some of my favourite in the series.

It's hated by midwits who were never true fans of the series and only jumped in after the Red wedding hype. Both feast and dance are great books, and the northern plotline in dance is actually my favourite in the entire series. Only mongoloids who's arsenal of literary endeavours includes captain underpants and various assortments of picture/comic books actually disliked the last 2 entries in the series, it's quite clear they're simply setups for the rollercoaster that Winds of Winter is going to be, and so they take their time to put everything in place and invest in a bit of worldbuilding before dialing it up to 11.

That's a generous way of saying the plot got completely out of control and the best Martin could do to keep it on track required him to slow the pacing down drastically.
Honestly I think the majority of the complaints are due to Brienne. There's a lot of fantastic locales in this world and the Riverlands is among the least of them, and we'd already spent a lot of time there in book 3. Then the rest of it is the Dorne chapters that jump to a different POV every time because Martin couldn't put us in Doran's head.
The rest of it is quite enjoyable, even if it's all buildup. The ironborn, Littlefinger's manipulations, Arya doing the Faceless training, and the developing storyline in Oldtown with Marwyn. The political situation at King's Landing is very intriguing.
I think if book 5 and 6 weren't delayed so damn long, it would be praised more because those subplots would have paid off. As it is we're stuck in limbo with every single story stopping short of a pivotal moment.

Both the North and Mereen are pretty damn good, so long as they get their respective climaxes. If they never do then it was all a waste.
